"To what purpose are powers limited, and to what purpose is that limitation committed to writing,
if these limits may, at any time, be passed by those intended to be restrained?"
-- Chief Justice John Marshall, Marbury v. Madison, 1803
Let’s see if you can notice the logical flaw in this sentence.
About 2,000 people celebrated Mother’s Day yesterday by attending a Million Mom March rally at the Capitol to demonstrate support for extending the nation’s ban on assault weapons.
Wow, 2,000 people! That’s quite a million you’ve got there! If we follow that logic out to its conclusion, as I sit here alone there are actually 500 people in my apartment!
